< 1 John 1 >

1 He who was from the beginning, whom we have heard, whom we have seen with our eyes, upon whom we have gazed, and whom our hands have certainly touched: He is the Word of Life.
Ũhoro ũrĩa warĩ kuo kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria, ũrĩa tũiguĩte, na ũrĩa tuonete na maitho maitũ, na tũkawĩrorera, namo moko maitũ makaũhutia, o ũhoro ũcio wa Kiugo kĩa muoyo, nĩguo tũhunjagia.
2 And that Life has been made manifest. And we have seen, and we testify, and we announce to you: the Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who appeared to us. (aiōnios g166)
Muoyo ũcio nĩwonithanirio; na ithuĩ nĩtũwonete na tũkaheana ũira waguo, na ithuĩ tũkamũhunjagĩria ũhoro wa muoyo wa tene na tene, ũrĩa watũire na Ithe witũ, na ũkĩonithanio kũrĩ ithuĩ. (aiōnios g166)
3 He whom we have seen and heard, we announce to you, so that you, too, may have fellowship with us, and so that our fellowship may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Ithuĩ tũmũhunjagĩria kĩrĩa tuonete na tũkaigua, nĩgeetha o na inyuĩ mũgĩe ngwatanĩro na ithuĩ. Nayo ngwatanĩro iitũ nĩ ngwatanĩro na Ithe witũ, o na Mũriũ Jesũ Kristũ.
4 And this we write to you, so that you may rejoice, and so that your joy may be full.
Tũramwandĩkĩra maũndũ maya nĩguo gĩkeno giitũ kĩiganĩre.
5 And this is the announcement which we have heard from him, and which we announce to you: that God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa tũiguĩte kuuma kũrĩ we, na nĩyo tũramũmenyithia, atĩ: Ngai nĩ ũtheri; thĩinĩ wake gũtirĩ nduma o na hanini.
6 If we claim that we have fellowship with him, and yet we walk in darkness, then we are lying and not telling the truth.
Tũngiuga atĩ tũrĩ ngwatanĩro nake, tũgĩthiiaga na mĩthiĩre ya nduma-rĩ, ũguo nĩkũheenania, naguo ũhoro wa ma ndũtũũraga thĩinĩ witũ.
7 But if we walk in the light, just as he also is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
No tũngĩthiĩ na ũtheri, o ta ũrĩa we arĩ ũtheri-inĩ, tũrĩ na ngwatanĩro mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, nayo thakame ya Jesũ, Mũrũ wake, nĩĩtũtheragia, tũgathirwo nĩ mehia mothe.
8 If we claim that we have no sin, then we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
Tũngiuga tũtirĩ na mehia, nĩ kwĩheenia tũkwĩheenia, naguo ũhoro wa ma ndũrĩ thĩinĩ witũ.
9 If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
Tũngiumbũra mehia maitũ-rĩ, we nĩ mwĩhokeku na nĩ wa kĩhooto, na nĩegũtũrekera mehia maitũ na atũtherie tũthirwo nĩ maũndũ mothe marĩa matarĩ ma ũthingu.
10 If we claim that we have not sinned, then we make him a liar, and his Word is not in us.
Tũngiuga tũtiĩhĩtie-rĩ, tũkũmũtua wa maheeni, naguo ũhoro wake ndũrĩ na handũ thĩinĩ witũ.
